If you move the device to another location within the
WLAN and out of range of a WLAN access point, the
roaming functionality can automatically connect your
device to another access point that belongs to the
same WLAN. As long as you remain within range of
access points that belong to the same network, your
device can stay connected to the network.
Tip: To check the unique media access control
(MAC) address that identifies your device, for
example to configure the MAC address of your
device to a WLAN router, enter *#62209526# in
the home screen. The MAC address is displayed.
